Boson 0.9 released

I just read that Boson 0.9 has been released... I saw some screenshots and it doesn't really look bad :)

http://boson.eu.org/

Quoted

Boson is an OpenGL real-time strategy game, with the feeling of Command&Conquer(tm) or StarCraft(tm). It is designed to run on Unix (Linux) computers, and is built on top of the KDE, Qt and kdegames libraries.
A minimum of two players is required, since there is no artificial intelligence yet.

Yea, it looks pretty good to me too, except it won't compile, like ever other program on my computer, cause I don't know how to get it to find my QT libs.

Try to set QTDIR before running ./configure

Usually this is something like /usr/lib/qt3
On Debian it is /usr/share/qt3

Ok, i'm look at those directories and see if they're there. How do I change the QTDIR part? In the Makefile, or some CLI option/variable?

You just need to set the environment variable QTDIR to the root of Qt installation.

You can also do
[code:1]./configure --with-qt-dir=<path to Qt>[/code:1]
Check help in configure for more options.

This is my first attempt at compiling, what does this mean? It comes up after ./configure. I'm using SuSE 9.

checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!

Thanks.

You're probably missing the so-called "header files" for the X Window system. Those files are often in a separate package with a suffix "-devel" because you only need them if you want to compile stuff, not when you're just using it.
I don't have a SuSE system here to check but I'd expect the package you need to be called xfree-devel, xfree86-devel, or something like that.
The YaST2 package installer has package search functionality built-in.
Keywords you might search for include "X", "xfree, "xfree86", "xlib", "header", "development"

Ive had that problem since i upgraded to kde321 - i circumvented it by:

[code:1]QTDIR=/usr[/code:1]


i dont remember, but it could be
[code:1]QTDIRS=/usr[/code:1] (!!!)

Hello again. Thanks for your help. I've added some more programs from my install discs and I get further along, but now I'm stopping here:

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.3) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

I use the command with the path to the qt dir specified. I checked the config log and there is a line kde_qtver='3'. What I'm thinking is I need to update the qt. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
